hi all - Harrison (co-founder) of LangChain here

We released this as a way to make it easier to get started with LLM applications. Specifically, we've heard that when people were using chains/agents they often wanted to see what exactly was going on inside, or change it in someway. This basically moves the logic for chains and agents into these templates (including prompts) - which are just python files you can run as part of your application - making it much easier to modify or change those in some ways.

Happy to answer any questions, and very open to feedback!

I certainly agree, but I'm having trouble seeing how templates help with this. The templates appear to be a consolidation of examples like those that were already emphasized in the current documentation. This is nice to have, but what does it do to elucidate the inner workings?
